I have a document-based-application, have opened fourteen documents, and have miniaturized all fourteen.

Now I want to work again on one of my fourteen documents.
Yes, I could try to find the wanted document in the dock. But this is not very convenient.
So I just click on the application again, intending to use its Window-menu to open the document which I need.

But when I click my application, some document gets always opended.

Well, you could avoid your whole problem with no code changes by just control-clicking, or click-and-holding on the dock icon, which will pop up a menu with all of the open windows in that app for you to choose from.

How can I stop my application doing this? Is there some NSApplication delegate method like applicationShouldOpenSomeFileAtUnhide (similar to applicationShouldOpenUntitledFile), which I can override and return NO ?

See the NSApplication delegate method -applicationShouldHandleReopen:hasVisibleWindows: if you really must change this.

If not, what can I do to stop this extremely annoying behaviour?

This behavior is part of Apple's human interface guidelines, so I would recommend against changing it in your app, but it's up to you...

Hope this helps,
-Greg
